Mr. David/Ms. Gayle & Jason:
Not sure where to begin. I didn’t want to believe the news Sunday afternoon until I had received word back from Jason. Jason /Jeremy and I first met when I was 4 years old at Mrs. Meeks preschool. I was wearing this red pleather jacket like what Michael Jackson would have had back then with all of these weird zippers sewn in. Apparently, Jeremy noticed that I was standing to close to a wall heater and started slapping me in the back because my jacket was melting as I was wearing it. After that he and I became friends with a friendship that lasted throughout. From being hit in the head with water guns from the loft of the blue house all the way to enlisting in the Air Force together after high school. Jeremy was one of my groomsman in my wedding in 2007. I would try and visit as I could when I was home. I had the opportunity to visit with Jeremy and his parents not too long ago before all of this became a reality. Jeremy was one of a kind and will never be forgotten.
Sorry for your loss.
Love,
Matthew Crowell & Family

Mrs. Gayle & family – I wanted to send you a note and let you know I am thinking of you. I think the world of you Mrs. Gayle and Jeremy was my buddy. My heart is hurting for you and I can’t imagine what you are enduring right now. He was my “Stevie” and I was his “Carrie”. He will always hold a special place in my heart. I love you and I am praying for you all. ♥️
#39 Comment By Travis Brown On May 6, 2020 @ 9:08 pm
Jeremy,
When I see your face in pictures, I can hear the echo of your laughter. How many miles did we ride together with Adam Towry on our bicycles through park city after church? We swam and explored the forest near my house. I rode my first horse and saw Dr Feelgood on MTV at your place. And I saw you and your idiot brother run around naked in front of your mom…
I wish I could go back. RIP, you really were a good person

I am so saddened by this news. Jeremy and I have been friends since kindergarten. Such a sweet guy that will truly be missed. My sympathies for the family.
#44 Comment By RJ Toler On May 7, 2020 @ 7:34 am
I was lucky enough to be brought under his wing the summer of ‘17 working with JT at the kayak business. Prid was like the older brother I always wanted and always wanted the best for me. I’m forever grateful for the wisdom and stories he shared with me. He always had a smile on his face and would put others first. It’s very rare to find pure souls such as his these days. Love and miss you

I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Jeremy but he and my son Clint Boggs were very close and had created a strong bond while in the Air Force together. I have been praying for Jeremy’s family since I heard of this and those will continue. I have others on my end praying for the family as well.

My sincere condolences of your great loss. He was an awesome coworker and friend. He left great memories on all of hearts. He will never be forgotten.
#54 Comment By Adam Towry On May 7, 2020 @ 5:49 pm
I share some of my first memories on this earth with Jeremy. From having sleepovers, riding dirt bikes, trying milk right from the cow (which was awful by the way), and being neighbors. We were always into something, just being boys. Our dads were the best men at each other’s weddings. Our friendship started early and always lasted. I have some memories that I will always cherish because they bring a smile to my face every time I look back. The best thing about Jeremy was his smile, humor and upbeat attitude. One of the good guys in my book. Rest easy friend…. you will be missed.

To the Pridmore family and all of his friends and acquaintances, I had the honor and privilege to serve with Jeremy Pridmore in the military. When he was a “kid” that I served with, it was exactly the same as all the tributes on here so far. He was outstanding to work with, everyone loved him and thought very highly of him! Again, for all the same reasons, he was a hard worker, always dependable and beyond his years. He was always in a good mood, always smiling, always happy, always the kid that could cheer everyone up. I remember as well, as Mr. Boggs stated, that Boggs was his closest friend and they were inseparable! I know nothing can ease your pain now but, hopefully if all of you see the Military Tribute Page Jeremy’s close friends put together, you’ll see how many lives Jeremy touched, how good he is remembered by so many and what he meant and still means to so many. So very sorry for everyone’s loss. Condolenses to all. Rest easy Jeremy Pridmore. Very Respectfully, MSgt Cox, Retired, USAF

He was one of my best friends and I am gonna miss him. He was so easy to talk to and he was one of my besties he would come over after my hubby passed and let me get drunk and he would talk to me the whole time and I miss him something awful last time I talked to him he talked bout all kinds of stuff but mainly me and my man he said we need to try to make it work I told him I was gonna try but we are back together hopefully stringer than before he was great guy he loves his pops and moms very much.
